<H2>Current Projects</H2>

<P>The DSG has research projects in the following areas: </P>

<OL>
<LI>High-performance Communication: very fast wide-area networks, network
interfaces, multiprocessor gateways, multicast, distributed systems architectures
and protocols, including <!WA5><A HREF="http://www-dsg.stanford.edu/dissem.html">Dissemination-Oriented Communication
Support</A>. The <!WA6><A HREF="http://www-dsg.stanford.edu/paradise.html">PARADISE project</A> serves as
an active testbed for much of this research. </LI>

<LI>High-performance modular distributed operating systems, with particular
support for efficient distributed parallel execution of large-scale applications.</LI>

<P> </P>

<LI>Parallel architecture, systems and programming, including hardware
development of a <!WA7><A HREF="http://www-dsg.stanford.edu/Paradigm.html">multiprocessor machine</A>, parallel
operating systems and parallel and distributed application structuring.
</LI>
</OL>

<P>The primary source of funding for this work is ARPA. </P>
